@phl @badlogic as well as shrinkflation back in the late 90s a friend of mine pointed the phenomenon I'll call crapflation. That is products being manufactured to lower and lower standards so they break and have to be replaced sooner.

While there are some product segments where quality has increased over the decades like autos or computers that is often offset by huge increases in repair costs, if it is even possible.
